NEXT GENERATION PUMP SYSTEMS ENABLE NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR ASSET MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMIC OPTIMIZATION

摘要

There is growing interest in cost-effective techniques that can detect the earliest stage of degradation or malfunction and predict machinery failure. New diagnostic and prognostic techniques may be effectively coupled with novel control techniques in the context of an intelligent motor-pump-control system. An integrated intelligent system is described for pumping applications that can sense the operating condition and health of the components of a hydraulic system and automatically change the operation of the motor-pump system. The change in control is goal-directed whereby the prescribed operating change is intended to achieve previously defined operating goals or performance objectives.
